The Immortal Kevin Fitzpatrick was born and raised in New York City, and that doesn't make sense. Kevin wears many hats, including actor, editor, and writer, but never yellow. The best things in life are Back to the Future, beets, Firefly and The Venture Bros. When not picking apart the minutia of pop culture in film and TV, Kevin can usually be found RIGHT BEHIND YOU.

Sure, we’re eager to check in on the Stranger Things kids and the town of Hawkins, but there’s one Season 2 return that stands apart. See Eleven’s new curly hair in fresh Stranger Things 2 photos, and learn the deal with that mysterious “Shadow Monster” looming above.
First ‘X-Files’ Season 11 Photos, Plus New Premiere Details
We’re quietly optimistic for more X-Files, even after last year’s six-episode return brought little more than cliffhangers and one-off ideas. And while our first photos from the 2018 return don’t offer much, we do know about an upcoming time-jump, and a trip to the Smoking Man’s past.
‘Walking Dead’ Boss Hints at New Big Bad Debut in Season 8
The Walking Dead’s new key art made explicit Season 8's intent to adapt the comic “All Out War,” but could the battle with Negan really last sixteen episodes? Perhaps not, as showrunners hint that Season 8 will resolve the conflict, and potentially move on to a new, soft-spoken big bad.

That ‘Stranger Things’ Pop-Up Bar Got a Dorky Cease-and-Desist From Netflix
Stranger Things may not have felt the Emmy love, but more than a few enterprising minds want to be in the Upside Down business. So it was with a recent Chicago pop-up bar, but if you have to get a cease-and-desist letter from Netflix, better it be of the dorky, threaten-to-call-your-mother kind.
‘Stranger Things’ Bosses Tease Potential Season 2 Cliffhanger

Netflix Wanted ‘Stranger Things’ 3 and 4 Shot Back-to-Back (Because of Puberty)
There’s good reason child actors rarely hang around genre TV, as cameras capture their growth faster than stories can tell. The Stranger Things kids too will seem noticeably older in Season 2, and Netflix even hoped to shoot the next two seasons back-to-back to avoid that pesky puberty.
‘Fuller House’ Celebrates 30th (!) Anniversary in First Season 3 Trailer
Full House is now officially too old to live with its parents. Thankfully, Netflix successor series Fuller House doesn’t pay rent, so there’s nothing (too) creepy or sad about returning to that iconic house for Season 3, especially as the new trailer commemorates the show’s 30th anniversary.
Frank Vincent, Star of ‘The Sopranos’ and ‘Goodfellas,’ Dies at 78
One of the most memorable mobsters of the genre is tragically no longer with us. Frank Vincent, actor behind everything from The Sopranos to Raging Bull, has died from surgery complications at the age of 78.
‘Simpsons’ Bosses Say Fired Composer Alf Clausen Still Has ‘Ongoing Role’
The Simpsons reached another milestone in its advanced age with the dismissal of 27-year composer Alf Clausen, but the series’ orchestral future has gotten even murkier. Representatives now claim the Emmy-winning Clausen will have an “ongoing role,” though his orchestra has apparently been dismissed.
The One ‘Game of Thrones’ Character Season 7 Really Needed to Kill
Game of Thrones went notably light on casualties in Season 7, as precious few of the characters lost had any real connection with viewers. One fan-favorite in particular had been set up for ignominious ends all season, especially in Sunday’s finale, so we have to ask – should Game of Thrones have killed Bronn?
